completed the program or erase operation. If it is still toggling, the device did not complete the operation
successfully, and the system must write the reset command to return to reading array data.
The remaining scenario is that the system initially determines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has
not gone high. The system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read
cycles, determining the status as described in the previous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to
perform other system tasks. In this case, the system must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it
returns to determine the status of the operation (top of Flowchart 6).

DQ6 Toggle Bit: remains at constant level when P/E operations are complete or erase suspend is acknowledged.
Successive reads output complementary data on DQ6 while programming or Erase operation are on-going.
DQ5 Error Bit: set to “1” if failure in programming or erase
DQ2 Toggle Bit: indicates the Erase status and allows identification of the erased Sector.
